We are not of the kingdom of this world; we are soldiers for Christ and our command is to be peacemakers. . And this is our testimony to the whole world. The spirit of Christ, by which we are guided, is not changeable, so as once to command us from a thing as evil and again to move unto it; and we do certainly know, and so testify to the world, that the spirit of Christ, which leads us into all Truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the Kingdom of Christ, nor for the kingdoms of this world." The call to peacemaking is the call to a biblical life-style

‘Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called sons of God’, Mathew 5 : 9

It is important that we stop our everyday life to see and consider the suffering of others. It is all too easy to become consumed with our own individual life, our own desires, our own projects. The key human emotion is compassion and we can only be compassionate if we truly are aware of the suffering in the world. And we must find some way to use our lives to bring values of compassion peace and justice into the world and thereby help to create that better world.

The values that dominate our society are values such as materialism, consumerism, nationalism, self-interest and the quest for the good life. Yet each of us also carries within ourselves, values of compassion, humility, justice and non-violence. Those values are being driven out of the public sphere, and are becoming private values or private thoughts. As long as they remain private, they cannot challenge the overall direction of society.

Bringing values of peace and justice into the public sphere is one step toward building a world of peace and justice. Values of non-violence, peace, and compassion, belong not only in our minds and hearts , but also in the street, in public debate, and as the basis of our actions.

We Must first get past our outward differences. In the eyes of God we are all his children, our differences are only skin deep, but our sames go right to the bone. WHEN WE COME TO EXCEPT THIS THEN WE CAN MAKE CHANGES.

If that doesn’t work for you then maybe this will we have all heard of the theory six degrees of separation, In 2001, Duncan Watts, a professor at Columbia University, continued his own earlier research into the phenomenon and recreated Milgram's experiment on the Internet. Watts used an e-mail message as the "package" that needed to be delivered, and surprisingly, after reviewing the data collected by 48,000 senders and 19 targets (in 157 countries), Watts found that the average number of intermediaries was indeed, six. There is only six degrees of separation between every human being on this planet we are all a family what effects one effects us all.

Values of peace, justice, compassion and non-violence can only be brought forth into public life where there are people willing to publicly identify with them.
